The East District Fire Council
At the east end of the corridor, south of the Chenghuangmiao Bridge, at No. 124, Production Street, it was the seat of the Fire Council of Fengjing East District during the period of the Republic of China. This is the only remaining complete site of a modern fire fighting organization in Shanghai.
The original building of the Fire Council was converted from an ordinary residential building. Influenced by the architectural style of the Shanghai Concession Fire Fighting Association at that time, the facade wall was converted into a Western style.
Pushing open the red door, several large pieces of old-time fire-fighting equipment are placed in the hall. There's a hand-powered snapdragon called a "yanglong" that appeared at the beginning of the 20th century, a mechanical "pump" that was used before the 1937 war, and a wheeled fire truck that was used for a time after 1950.
Fengjing town firefighting organization, built in the early years of the Republic of China. At that time, it was called "Longwangtang" (also known as fire-fighting association), taking the meaning of the Dragon King to restrain the fire. And in the south town halloween under the bridge pond and the north town Taoyuan Yang set up a fire-fighting office. By the town merchants, rich gentry donated money to buy a water gun, wooden snap dragons, buckets and other basic equipment. Firefighters are all voluntary, by the stores, workshops selected employees to participate. In case of fire, the neighbors would sound the gong to call the police, and the firefighters would go to the fire-fighting association to rescue the fire with their equipment.In 1923, a unified fire-fighting association was set up in the south and north towns of Fengjing. The general assembly was located in Taoyuanyang, and set up branches in 8 moderate locations, such as Beifengqiao, Beijie, Dongjie, Shengtangqiao, Yongchangqiao, and Chenhuang. There are more than 200 volunteer firefighters. At the same time, firefighting equipment has been improved, the water inlet faucet with canvas rubber hose directly from the river bank to absorb water.
In 1937, on the eve of the outbreak of the war, Fengjing Fire Fighting Branch and merged into four districts of East, South, North and Central. The East District Fire Council of Fengjing was one of them at that time. During the period, and additional mechanical "pump" and water inlet pipe, water belt, long hooks, axes, torches, copper helmets, ladders and other old equipment. Until after the victory of the war, the firefighting equipment is completely renewed, snap dragons and other old equipment was eliminated. 1952 March, the districts of the fire will be merged and established as the "Fengjing Fire Fighting Association". Until 1959, "Fire Fighting Association" was renamed as "People's Fire Brigade", which was under the management of public security department. Civilian self-organized fire, fire will exist in Fengjing nearly half a century later, became history.
While the fire department was run by the private sector, it was managed in an orderly manner. There was a president of the general assembly at the top and heads of districts at the bottom, and regular training for firefighters. Every year on the 20th day of the fifth lunar month, for the whole town fire drill day. Volunteer firefighters dressed in full fire uniforms on that day, lined up with equipment, "horn" to open the way to the Grand Star Bridge Movement or Taoyuan Yang, People's Square and other places to carry out fire-fighting drills and competitions, commonly known as the "performance of the water hose". The town's merchants and gentry went to watch the competition, which became an annual event in Fengjing Town.
There were many fires in Fengjing town at that time, and firefighters were often sacrificed or injured. 1926, in order to commemorate those who sacrificed their lives in the firefighting, Fengjing Fire Fighting Association built a 7-meter-high firefighting memorial tower west of the bridge in Taoyuanyang in the General Assembly, which was called "Memorial Tower for the Deceased Comrades of Fengjing Fire Fighting Association", and the following inscriptions were engraved in recognition of the following Volunteer firefighters meritorious deeds. This is the only well-preserved fire history memorial tower in the suburbs of Shanghai. Now listed as Jinshan District cultural relics. [6]
Ding Cong Cartoon Museum
Ding Cong, one of the most famous contemporary cartoonists in China, published satirical cartoons in newspapers and magazines under the signature of "Ding".
Ding Cong was born into a cartoonist family. His father, Ding Chuan (丁悚), was born in 1881 in Nanjie, Fengjing Town, and was a famous cartoonist in Shanghai before the liberation of the People's Republic of China. In the first half of the last century, Ding published a large number of cartoons satirizing social phenomena in Shanghai's major news media, which had a great impact. When Liu Haisu founded the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts, he invited Ding to be the first dean of the faculty. Afterwards, Ding founded China's first cartoon association, the Cartoon Society, at No. 31 Huanqingli in the French Concession. The fashionable women on the monthly cards he created in the later period, "Hundred Beauties", was widely popular and was collected by later generations. During the Cultural Revolution, Ding Creep was persecuted and died in 1969. According to Ding's wish, in March 1994, the ashes of Mr. and Mrs. Ding were sent back to their hometown Fengjing for burial.
The exhibition hall is located at No. 421 North Street in the ancient town. From North Street to the museum, you have to walk through a quiet stone lane. Entering the gate, the ancient ginkgo and yew, banana, osmanthus, waxberry and other flowers and trees to decorate the courtyard is very fresh and elegant. The main building of the exhibition hall is a five-room, two-story building of the Republican period, with corridors above and below. The whole exhibition hall is equipped with a preface hall, 7 exhibition rooms (one of which exhibits works of Ding Chili), and a VIP lounge. The total area is 360 square meters, with more than 100 works on display. The preface hall has a bust of Ding Cong and an introduction to his life. Afterwards, each room exhibits Ding Cong's satirical and humorous works, illustrations of famous books and portraits of people. Since the 1930s, Ding Cong began to publish cartoons, and he satirized the reactionary rule and corrupt social life of the old society, praised the flourishing scene and people's working life since the founding of New China, and also mercilessly attacked some backward phenomena, reflecting his justice and conscience in his works.
In the exhibition room of "Portrait", Shen Congwen, Qin Yi, Xiao Qian, Ba Jin, Bing Xin, Fang Cheng, Feng Jicai, Xin Fengxia, Lao She, Lu Xun, Mao Dun, Huang Miaozi, Qian Zhongshu, Nie Konyu, Xia Yan, Wang Meng, etc., a celebrity in the form of caricature, but also in front of the visitors. From these works, it can be seen that Ding Cong in China's cultural and artistic circles to make a wide range of friendships. He had deep friendships with many famous people in Chinese literature and art. In the exhibition room of Illustrations of Masterpieces, you can see that he has illustrated the works of Lu Xun, Lao She, Ye Shengtao, Shen Congwen, Xu Dishan and other famous writers. Mao Dun in June 1980 and Ding Cong re-meet, can not help but write a pen "five":
"I do not see Ding for a long time, and meet times close to each other. The face of a child is just like the old days, and he is fighting fiercely with his pen."
Not only did he write about their friendship, but he also spoke highly of Ding Cong's works and personality. The handwriting of this poem is also displayed in the exhibition hall. The museum also has a video room, exhibiting some of the items he used in his creation and life, which Ding Cong named 'Little Ding Objects'. On the wall there are also portraits he painted during his labor at the Thirteen Lingling Reservoir for well-known figures in the Peking Opera world, such as Mei Lanfang, Xun Huisheng, Ma Lianliang, Gai Jiatian, Zhou Xinfang, Hou Xirui, Li Shaochun, Xiao Changhua, and so on. Ding Cong's self-portrait, caricature portraits of his son and grandson are also on display.
Ding Cong was the director of the National Cartoon Art Committee, but he always referred to himself as 'Ding'. According to him, there are two meanings. First, in front of his father, he was always a small Ding; second, the Chinese character for "Ding" means "person", and small Ding means "small person". His life experience proves that, despite his early fame, he has never forgotten that he is a "little man", and he always treats himself with the ordinary mentality of a little man, and often views current affairs, society and the world from the perspective of a little man, thus his writing often reveals a sincere and strong people's feelings. This is the real reason why his art is constantly flowing and his works have been loved by the people for decades. [6]
Fengjing Pai Fang
Historically, the ancient town of Fengjing belonged half to Jiangsu and half to Zhejiang. There were two obvious signs of division, one was the Boundary River in the west, and the other was the Pai Fang in the east. This Pai Fang was built on the site of the original Boundary Pai Fang, recreating the unique geographic area of Fengjing Town.
The tall antique pagoda with the word "Fengjing" above it was inscribed by Cheng Shifa, the late master of Chinese painting. The whole pagoda is 12 meters high and 14 meters wide, with three rooms and four columns, which is very upright and beautiful. The pillar base of the pagoda beam is carved with exquisite traditional patterns, and four gilded couplets are hung before and after the four columns, reflecting the history, culture, customs and folklore of Fengjing, so that tourists can have a brief understanding of the rich historical and cultural connotations of Fengjing as soon as they enter the door, which is like the introduction to the opening chapter of a great work.
Fengjing Promenade Snack Street
Fengjing Town is a typical Jiangnan water town, with a dense water network and long rivers. Since the Yuan Dynasty, Fengjing Town has been a commercial town, where merchants gathered on both sides of the river, and the water became a street. At that time, the commercial promenade built along the river reached more than 800 meters. Nowadays, the restored Fengxi Promenade is 300 meters long, starting from Zhihe Bridge in the south and ending at Zhuxing Bridge in the north, connecting with the Production Street Promenade. In the past, this used to be the most prosperous commercial street in Wuyue.
Out of the Fengjing Historical and Cultural Exhibition Hall, walking along the 300-meter-long Fengxi Promenade, all the way to the eyes is characterized by the old houses and ancient bridges, ancient streets in the South Town scenic area. Various kinds of snacks are gathered in the Maple Creek Promenade Snack Street. Along the Maple Creek Promenade all the way north, you enter the rich human history of the North Town tourist area. [6]
Ancient Theater
Fengjing because of the South Town North Town partition, the Ming Dynasty, the town actually built two City God Temple, located in the South Town called the South City God Temple, located in the North Town, ah Le City God Temple, because of the location of the East Gate (now the Peace Street, Wave Management). This town has two City God Temple phenomenon, I am afraid that in the country are rare.
The East City God Temple is now destroyed, while the City God Temple Bridge across the city river and the ancient theater by the river has been restored and rebuilt.
Theater is a kind of outdoor stage for performances in ancient times. In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, China's theater began to take shape, to the Song and Jin dynasties formally formed the theater this form of literature and art. At that time, the theater performance place collectively known as the theater, Tang poetry and "music shed", "singing platform", "stage", "terrace "The record; Song Dynasty evolved into the hook, invite the shed, the initial stage built in front of temples and other religious buildings in the square, for the play for God, and then folk also began to build a large number of theater. Rich people in the mansion or ancestral hall built theater, ordinary rural, in the sun field or near the village open space to build theater. The latter was called "grass stage" in the Qing Dynasty because it was simple and not fixed. In the rural areas of the performances of the artist group also called "CaoTaiTanZi".
The ancient Fengjing stage was built on the square of Chenghuang Temple, with one side close to the street and the other side facing the river, so that the audience who came by boat from the waterway could sit on the boat and watch the opera whenever it was performed.
Anciently, the poor people watched the theater, all in the temple festival season. Qing Dynasty, the North and South City God Temple began to have a temple fair. According to records, the South City God Temple race, began in the Qing dynasty Qianlong decisi (1773), began three or four years once, and later evolved into a year, the meeting period for the fourth day of the fourth lunar month, three days before and after the time. The renewal of the Fengjing small Zhi: "to the period of the ladies to the room to see, within a hundred miles of the wind to come, oars and boats gathered, the river can not be blocked." This shows the grandeur of the festival. At that time, the temple in front of the stage on the Huiban (predecessor of the Beijing opera) and other big plays, often also to be performed for three days. Beizhen East City God Temple race, the beginning of the time a little later than the South Town, the session is earlier than the South Town, in the annual Qingming Festival, the time two days, and the Qing Dynasty began in the middle of the Shi Wang Temple race, the session for the first two days of the eighth month of the lunar calendar each year, generally three days before and after the bustling year from the 30th July of the lunar calendar, and has been extended for a long time of seven days. At that time, traders, Beijing opera troupes and circus troupes gathered in Fengjing, and the ancient theater must have been very lively on and off the stage.
There is an interesting story in Fengjing's old records about an assassination attempt on a "Qin Hui" actor. The incident occurred in March of 1673, when the theater was performing the play of Qin Hui's murder of Yue Fei, and the play came to an end, and suddenly a man leaped out of the crowd of spectators and stabbed the actor who played Qin Hui to death with the leather cutter used by the leather workers. After the accident, the assassin was sent to the government interrogation, he proudly replied: "the people and the pear orchard from no half face, really hate Qin Hui ear. Ritual does not count the truth or falsehood!" The judge was so compassionate to his righteous indignation that he sentenced him to a lighter sentence for the crime of manslaughter.
Reconstructed after the ancient stage width of 6.4 meters, depth of 4.4 meters, stage area of 28 square meters, hermit-style roof, eaves and corners, ancient. With the development of tourism in the ancient town, the ancient stage will be performed for tourists all year round the traditional classic theater programs.

It should be said that he has the modeling foundation of both Chinese and Western paintings, and has a deep understanding of both traditional Chinese and Western paintings. He used the method of complementing the strengths and weaknesses of Western painting to integrate some of the concepts and techniques of Western painting into Chinese painting, breaking the boundaries of traditional Chinese painting in terms of color, light, texture, and composition, in order to increase the "height" of Chinese painting. He also took full advantage of the relaxed art environment in the United States, focusing on his own creation of traditional brushwork and heavy color into the Western painting world, after more than a decade of hard work, he has achieved success.

Shiwang Temple
Shiwang Temple, commonly known as Shiwang Hall, is located at No. 409, North Street, an important Taoist resort in Fengjing, built in the seventh year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty (1579).
Shi Wang's name is Shi Quan, history has its own person, Song Gaozong when the temple before the military colonel, folk singing book said Shi Quan anti-Jin hero Yue Fei under the protection of the country's great generals. Yue Fei killed after the storm Pavilion, Shi Quan had disguised to sneak people's residence, assassination of Qin Hui failed to leave the capital back to his hometown after the court named "Dinghai Hou", in charge of the coastal area of Jinshan, Jinshan and neighboring Zhejiang people have done a lot of good things and good deeds. There is another theory that he took advantage of Qin Hui to assassinate him when he retired from the court, but unsuccessful, but was killed by the Qin Hui limbs in the city. Because he inherited the virtue of loyalty to the country from the Yue Family Army, he was loved by the people. After his death, he was crowned "King of Jingjiang". In order to honor Shi Quan, the people of Fengjing raised 400 taels of silver in the seventh year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty and built the Shi Wang Temple in the north fence of Fengjing.
Shi Wang Temple was rebuilt in 1904, and is divided into three halls. There are stone horses on both sides of the front hall, two wooden boats placed on the left and right sides of the middle hall, and the back hall is the main hall, where the statues of Shi Quan and his wife are enshrined downstairs, and there is a carved wooden bed on the upper floor, which is the bedroom of Shi Wang. There are more than 10 living rooms for Taoist priests on the side. Shi Wang Temple also built in front of the release pool, the pool was built on the arched stone bridge, known as the King's Bridge (now rebuilt).
The entire Shi Wang Temple covers an area of more than 3,000 square meters, is a large-scale Taoist official view of the Jiangnan area. From the middle of the Qing Dynasty, to commemorate Shi Quan's birthday on the second day of August, began to hold the Shi Wanglao god birthday race. During the festival, villagers from near and far come to Fengjing to watch the festival, which is very lively. The festival is very lively, with programs such as Master Shi's "enlightenment", patrols, boat shaking, fireworks, stilt walkers, and plays, etc., and lasts for two to three days. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, due to the decline of the City God Temple Festival, the Shi Wang Temple Festival became the most lively temple fair in Fengjing.
Some old people still recall with great fondness that the procession was thousands of meters long when Master Shi was on patrol, which was a very spectacular scene. The Shiwangmiao temple fair was not stopped until 1966. After that, the main hall of Shiwang Temple was changed into the cafeteria of Fengjing Elementary School, and the front hall became a small store of Fengjing Middle School. [6]
The Heavenly Fate Hall
Fengjing Ancient Town, south of Nanfeng Bridge, to the west, at No.268, Youyi Street, there is a triangular-peaked house with glazed-brick walls, on which three words are written vertically: Heavenly Fate Hall. In the early years of the Republic of China, a part of Fengjing townspeople began to believe in Christianity, and they utilized the old house in Nanjie to convert it into the Church of Jesus for their teaching activities.
After the victory of the war, the congregation began to grow, and the old place was not narrow enough, so in 1947, 200 stones of white rice were collected by the locals Wu Jingren, Xu Zhiguang, Fei Derong, and Hu Wenzhong as the principal money for the founding of the new church. With 80 stones of rice bought an old house of the original Chen Zida, the remaining 120 stones of rice used for internal and external repair costs. Tables, chairs, and benches in the church were donated by believers. After the hall was completed, it was named Heavenly Life Hall.
The heavenly life hall covers an area of square meters, there are many houses. After the completion, Songjiang, Pinghu, Jiashan, Qingpu, Jinshan and other counties of the neighboring towns and villages of believers have come to worship in the Church of Heavenly Life, the number of people. At that time, there were three groups under the Church of Heavenly Life, respectively called London Society, Faith Society, and Szeto Faith Society. The London Group was under the leadership of the Hangzhou and Jiaxing General Churches; the Faith Group was under the leadership of the Shanghai and Suzhou General Churches; and the Szeto Faith Group was under the leadership of the Suzhou and Xitang General Churches. By 1951, these three groups had 91 households with 176 believers, 80 households with 128 believers, and 73 households with 126 believers. A church of believers in the church under the management of different General Church, this organizational system is relatively special. 1966, the Church of Heavenly Life was forced to stop teaching activities. 1979, the Church resumed teaching activities, but the house is still occupied by the outside unit. 1985 May, the town people's government to implement the religious policy, returned the Church of Heavenly Life property, and by the Church refurbished, on October 6, the official resumption of the Church, held a grand ceremony.

Three Hundred Gardens
Three Hundred Gardens is a large mansion with three entrances and three declines, and there is also a back garden with strong Jiangnan characteristics at the back. The original owner, Chen Shunyu, the word Lingju, the name of the White Bull Jushi, is a Fengjing people, at that time in the court ranked Tuantian foreign minister, equivalent to the State Ministry of Agriculture Vice Minister, although the official in a high position, but his life of two-sleeved clean, honest and upright, because of dislike of some of the ugly phenomenon of the court, several times removed from the post, living in their hometowns. He usually like poetry and painting, learned, and poets Ouyang Xiu, Su Dongpo, Sima Guang interaction is very thick, known as friends, often drink together, poetry, talk and laugh about life. After his death, Sima Guang also wrote a memorial poem for him: "the corner of the sea square 10,000 miles, the great geometric people, a hundred Mu seek talent, three Kaifeng get Shi new, the sound of the four sides of the towering, the apparatus industry a stretch, he looked forward to the next day, non-tu Zeshou Chun." Meaning that the end of the world, hundreds of miles around, can find out how many people like him have outstanding talent, outstanding talent, integrity, good people? It was only within a hundred miles that such a talent could be found, and it was only after three ups and three downs that he was able to make his reputation known in all directions. What he did for the people was evident to all the people of the world, and he did not spend his life in vain because of his ups and downs. Su Dongpo had also "weeping funeral", to his coffin before crying for him to write a sacrifice, and later Lu You for this sacrifice for the trek said: "Dongpo before and after the set of sacrifices where 40, but the sacrifice of Xianliang Chen refers to the most sad words. Reading it makes people sigh and cry." This three into three down the mansion recorded Chen Shun Yu achievements and the life of the ups and downs, each house reflects the history of his hardships as an official, due to the opening of tourism we give him a new meaning, which shows more than 300 exhibits - a hundred lamps, a hundred baskets, a hundred rows, and other representative of the object is called the three hundred parks.
Chen Shun Yu (former Feng Wei Township, North Temple Hong Kong people) Song Qingli six years (1046) to Beijing to catch the examination, the examination in the B section of the bachelor's degree, as Mingzhou's observation of the magistrate, Zhejiang, Tiantai engaged in positions, as an official in Zhejiang, only one year his father fell ill and died, he had to take his father's coffin back to Fengjing, when the conditions of the home is not generous, only a courtyard, back home, buried his father on the closed door to study hard. After he returned home, he buried his father and closed his door to study. Song Jiayou four years (1059 years) to obtain the first system of science, the post of light and Lu Chancellor, and then elevated to the secretary of the province of writings, such as the official position; in the post, he is clean and impartial for the people to do a lot of good things, and often put the family's money to help the poor people. In the past in the court as an official, salary enough to build three into three down the mansion, but because of the usual integrity, can not take silver to build a house, until the Song Xining three years (1070 years) to promote for the Tundian foreign affairs, he built the second house, that is, a hundred baskets Hall. At that time, the prime minister was Wang Anshi, who presided over the change to implement the "Green Seedling Law", but Chen Shunyu was influenced by the old feudal thinking, even wrote a letter of opposition to this move, that "there is against the court, not the king's way. Therefore, he was opposed by most of the people in the court and was relegated to the post of salt and wine tax officer of Nankang Army, which made him very unhappy in his heart and had no intention to be an official. During his term of office, often with too Fu Liu Ningwen tour of Mount Lushan in Jiangxi Province, riding a white ox, so called "white ox jushi", Song Xining five years, finally abandoned the official hermit Fengjing home, all day long to invite friends to recite poems, holding a white ox to and from the white ox swings, but also for the Fengjing Haihui Temple wrote the "Haihui courtyard collection of sutra records", Songjiang "super fruit of Tiantai teach the hospital records" and Qingpu "Bugin courtyard sutra records" and so on. Record of the Sutra Collection of Bujinwon" and so on. Because of his clear and bright, the descendants in order to commemorate him, the alias of Fengjing called "White Bull Village", "White Bull Town", and also in the west of the town for him to build a bridge called Qingfeng Bridge and Qingfeng Pavilion teahouse.
Song Xining seven years, Wang Anshi dismissed the prime minister, the court is at the time of use, the emperor that is recruited him into the palace as an official, and learned that he was a clean official, clean, and even the third courtyard are no money to build, it is the order of the local officials for him to build, but also learned that he loves poetry, it is specifically for him to build a can be poetic paintings of the back of the garden. But the good times do not last long, he did only one year as an official, Wang Anshi again as prime minister, he was again dismissed, and came back to make a book to swear, never want to serve, never to be an official. Living the life of ordinary people and wrote a large number of poems, such as "DuGuanJi", "should be system of policy", "LushanJiLiu", in the back garden we can appreciate his left behind the ink treasure.
The back garden, winding paths, birds and flowers, is a poetry and paintings of the Jiangnan garden, the garden is not big, only 1 acres, but it is the whole of the seasons of the year condensed in this, the east, south, west, and north corners of the four corners of the four seasons were planted with different flowers and wild fruits. Southeast corner is spring, planted peach blossoms, willows, ferruginous begonias, wisteria berries and other plants, every time after the spring thunder, peach and willow green, a spring scene; southwest corner is summer, planted Shanghai city flower magnolia, prunes, in the height of summer, such as jade-like magnolia fragrance blossomed, full of red and purple prunes, so that people look at the mouth-watering; Northwest corner is the autumn, red maple leaves, The northwest corner is autumn, the red maple leaves, fruitful bananas on behalf of the harvest season has arrived; northeast corner is winter, on behalf of the longevity of the pine and cypress, and not afraid of the cold of the holly plum, in this, really a little bit like what Tao Yuanming said, as if into the paradise, forgetting to go back.
There is a small pavilion at the highest point of the garden, named Liuchun Pavilion, the name of the pavilion is nominated according to a poem written by the Song Dynasty monk, Master Dequi, "I heard talk about the pavilion with a strong sense of purpose, and I stayed in a pot with a beautiful view. The singing voice does not let the warbler sound old, the wine face is always accompanied by the flower face red, leaning on the bursting jade hairpin through the setting sun, the willow dragging the golden thread to tie the east wind. The people of the time said that they had gone back in spring, and it was suspected that the road to the Peach Garden was suddenly open." Due to his dissatisfaction with the imperial court, Chen Shunyu abandoned his post and returned to his hometown. He swore in a book that he would never become an official, and invited his friends to drink and poems in this garden every day, and at that time, Ouyang Xiu, Su Dongpo, and Sima Guang all came to this place. As written in the poem: in the pavilion, facing the beautiful scenery, drinking and poetry, laughing and joking, the mood is very strong, the mood is particularly comfortable. Although there is no wonderful singing accompanied by the pavilion, the old yellow warbler is not chirping, and only bright red flowers accompany the drunken red face, but it is possible to wear the sunset with the jade hairpin on the head, and to catch the east wind with the golden thread of the willow, and everyone says that the spring has gone, but here it is suspected that the road to the Peach Blossom Garden has just been opened. The poem speaks of Chen Shunyu's state of mind after his seclusion and his fascination with the garden. This scene, this feeling, and the name Liuchun Pavilion really complement each other.
Walking down the rockery, there is another pavilion, the name of the drunken sleep pavilion, a small pavilion facing the wall, one facing the water, sitting in the pavilion, full of garden views. Lotus flowers in the pool fragrance far away from the clear. There is a small island, like Penglai Island, there is a Taihu Lake stone on the island, written on the "wake up soul". It means "wake up", which means to realize the meaning of things and see things thoroughly. After Chen Shunyu abandoned his post, every time he got drunk, he would take a nap in this pavilion, and he felt like he was in a fairyland, and some of the troubles in the officialdom had disappeared here, and he left all the unhappiness in his heart behind, leaving behind only the pain of awakening, so he wrote, "Wine and guts are long and light, and six prints of the waist, and a pillow in the drunkenness is the enemy of a thousand dynasties. Rise and fall than the glory of the withered willow, gathering and dispersing to see the same tide of dawn and dusk. Anhydride law should have been outside the dust, waking soul to the water's edge. I have already heard that the good people from the appointment, not like Jiangdong return to scratch." Meaning: tied in the waist of the wine pot has been drinking empty, drunken nap wake up feel several dynasties have passed, success and failure is like a willow sprouting and falling leaves. Officials and dismissed, gathered and scattered like the sunrise during the day, the tide recedes at sunset, the green seedling law should not be implemented in the world to start, drunk suddenly realize that think about everything is an empty, know that there are many ministers in the court also agree with the "green seedling law", my failure to let him like the river as the river is never to return.
Walking out of the Pavilion of Drunkenness, Chen Shunyu's study, "A Pillow Hall", came through the corridor, "A Pillow in the Drunkenness Enemies a Thousand Dynasties", and Chen Shunyu wrote a lot of famous masterpieces in the study. A couplet in front of the hall reads, "The sea is ten thousand miles away, the heroes and heroines are all men, and the hundred Mu seeks for talent, and the three Xun get the new Shi". This is a good friend of Chen Shun Yu, a famous poet Sima Guang wrote when he visited Chen Shun Yu, which means: "How many people like him can be found in the ten thousand miles from the end of the world with outstanding talent, outstanding wisdom, and uprightness? One in a hundred is him, he is after three times four times the test, loved by the people of a virtuous. From this couplet can be seen Sima Guang and Chen Shunyu close interaction, understanding is quite deep, a piece of admiration and praise heart.
Out of a pillow hall next to a Taihu Lake stone, written on the "gathering and dispersal" two words, "gathering and dispersal to see the same Dan twilight tide". If you are interested, you can take a picture here as a souvenir, it warns the world: the world does not have a banquet, when the official and the dismissal of the official, gathering and dispersal is a very common thing, should think more openly, so that life will be better.
